Some eye problems (not mine)…

I read Mark Evanier's blog in my Friends list. Sometimes it's tedious for me, but other times it's a joy. He's a Hollywood type specialising in cartoons, but not totally. He often has funny stories about actors and other denizens of Tinseltown.

His mother passed away a few months ago, and he's been recounting stories of her life and her decline in his blog. This latest one concerns her encounters with her ophthalmologist, who paid her scant attention until Mark blocked his exit from the examining room. The ophthalmologist started asking Mark questions about various cartoon characters, as he was a cartoon buff as well. And Mark used this to his mother's advantage. Do read the blog post at the link—it's heartwarming.
